AUGUST 25, 2004

Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land today announced that the Mobile Branch Office will be at the V. A. Hospital in Battle Creek to serve area customers.

The facility provides all services found at any Secretary of State branch office and is handicapper accessible. It is hauled statewide on a 24-foot trailer.

The V. A. Hospital is at 5500 Armstrong Rd. Mobile Branch Office hours on Sept. 8 are from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 9.

"This is an excellent way for us to reach all corners of Michigan," Land said. "We're working harder so you don't have to."

Following its visit to Battle Creek, the Mobile Branch Office will travel to Mt. Pleasant, Sault Ste. Marie, Marquette, Houghton, the Village of Ravenna and Saginaw. It has logged more than 100,000 miles since it first hit the road nearly seven years ago.

Land encourages all customers who have Internet access to check out the department's online services at www.Michigan.gov/sos before visiting any branch office. For example, vehicle license plates and watercraft registrations can be renewed online. Browsing the site also helps customers determine fees and requirements before they go to an office.
